Laura $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Laura, and I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of five grandchildren. I have raised/cared for children for 35 years. I enjoyed being a Sunday school teacher for young toddlers for two years, as well as leading a preschool class for two years. I have also worked in the home care industry for several years, enjoying the companionship and rewards of working with the elderly. I am a young-at-heart 57 year old mom/nana, who will bring a nurturing environment to children, as well as to the elderly. I am currently looking for part-time work, possibly leading to full-time. Thank you in advance for your consideration

Terra $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a full-time registered nurse, looking for extra work in the evenings during weekdays with a little more flexibility on weekends. I have a strong background in caring for children and elderly. I am an extremely kind and compassionate caregiver who takes pride in the successful outcome of my patients. I am a mother of four adult children and also have many years in pediatric care, as well. I am looking to find a family who has strong values in the care of their loved ones and is looking for compassionate and thorough care that meets the needs of the families I work for. As a nurse, I am experienced in all age groups and have worked in a variety of nursing settings. I also am a very strong animal lover, who believe that pets our family and would care for years as if they were my own. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more about me.
